Numbers of fish returning are up Larger numbers of threatened Chinook salmon have returned to spawn upstream in newly restored habitat on North Fork Battle Creek, the Bureau of Reclamation and its partners in the Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project announced Wednesday. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice has been performing fish monitoring for many years in Bat- tle Creek. This fall, over four times the number of spring-run Chinook salmon redds (nests built by fish) were seen further upstream in North Fork Battle Creek, above where the Wildcat Diversion Dam once stood, than in previous years. In the past 10 years, on average, only about 7 percent of the redds were upstream of the dam. This year, 33 percent of the redds are located upstream of the former dam site, the FWS reported. The improved passage upstream into the restored area, where stream conditions are better for nesting and survival is helping the popula- tions. This signifies that the project goal of increasing populations of anadromous fish (fish who begin life in freshwater creeks and live part of their lives in the ocean) is already underway, while project construction continues. To help protect these salmon eggs when flows began a seasonal decline, the FWS asked Pacific Gas and Electric Company if it could modify operations to increase flows in North Fork Bat- tle Creek. PG&E responded by voluntarily diverting less water for hydroelectric generation and has agreed to maintain increased flows throughout the spawning season. The Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project aims to increase threatened and endan- gered Chinook salmon and Central Valley steelhead trout populations by restoring approximately 42 miles of habitat in Battle Creek and an additional 6 miles of habitat in its tributaries, while maintaining renewable energy production at the Battle Creek Hydroelectric Pro- ject, owned and operated by PG&E. Restoration is being accomplished primarily through the removal of five diversion dams, placement of screens and ladders on three other diversion dams and increasing instream flows. Project construction began in 2009, and in August 2010, Wildcat Diversion Dam was removed on North Fork Battle Creek, restoring approximately 15 miles of stream habitat. Also on the North Fork, substantial fish screen and ladder construction has occurred upstream at North Battle Creek Feeder and Eagle Canyon Diver- sion Dams and is anticipated to be completed in 2012 or 2013. On South Fork Battle Creek, construction of an Inskip Power- house bypass and tailrace connec- tor to Coleman Canal (to prevent mixing of north fork and south fork waters) has been proceeding and is anticipated to be completed late-2012. The remainder of the project includes the construction of a fish barrier weir on Baldwin Creek, construction of a fish screen and ladder on Inskip Diversion Dam, construction of a tailrace connector from South Powerhouse to Inskip Canal and the removal of Lower Ripley Creek Feeder, Soap Creek Feeder and South and Coleman diversion dams. This construction is anticipated to begin in 2013 and be completed in 2015. PATHshelter to rotate among churches The PATH homeless shelter will be hosted by area churches over the coming months.
